SP 3349
Title:  SP 3349
Description:  Even as a kid I loved these rusty battered old Geeps. The rusty cab roof, the battered paint job, the from-another-era look of the vents and high hood, and those classic SP jam-packed headlight bundles - I always snapped a shot when I saw one, even if -- like here -- it turned out pretty bad.

SP 3379
Title:  SP 3379
Description:  A high-nose Geep flies past on the Rabbit Line, south Shreveport at Baird Road. Not my favorite spot, but it was the one I could get to on my bike when I heard a train horn in the distance.

Homely. Rusty. Perfect.
Title:  Homely. Rusty. Perfect.
Description:  SP 3877 a perfectly lovely speciment - old, rusty, a little awkwardly designed.... just the thing to delight a rail fan.
